Package zenity provides cross-platform access to simple dialogs that interact graphically with the user. It is inspired by, and closely follows the API of, the zenity program, which it uses to provide the functionality on various Unixes. See: https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/stable/ This package does not require cgo, and it does not impose any threading or initialization requirements.
Package gg provides a simple API for rendering 2D graphics in pure Go.
Package ecs provides interfaces for the Entity Component System (ECS) paradigm used by engo.io/engo. It is predominately used by games, however will find use in other applications. The ECS paradigm aims to decouple distinct domains (e.g. rendering, input handling, AI) from one another, through a composition of independent components. The core concepts of ECS are described below. An entity is simply a set of components with a unique ID attached to it, nothing more. In particular, an entity has no logic attached to it and stores no data explicitly (except for the ID). Each entity corresponds to a specific entity within the game, such as a character, an item, or a spell. A component stores the raw data related to a specific aspect of an entity, nothing more. In particular, a component has no logic attached to it. Different aspects may include the position, animation graphics, or input actions of an entity. A system implements logic for processing entities possessing components of the same aspects as the system. For instance, an animation system may render entities possessing animation components.
Package qml offers graphical QML application support for the Go language. This package is in an alpha stage, and still in heavy development. APIs may change, and things may break. At this time contributors and developers that are interested in tracking the development closely are encouraged to use it. If you'd prefer a more stable release, please hold on a bit and subscribe to the mailing list for news. It's in a pretty good state, so it shall not take too long. See http://github.com/go-qml/qml for details. The qml package enables Go programs to display and manipulate graphical content using Qt's QML framework. QML uses a declarative language to express structure and style, and supports JavaScript for in-place manipulation of the described content. When using the Go qml package, such QML content can also interact with Go values, making use of its exported fields and methods, and even explicitly creating new instances of registered Go types. A simple Go application that integrates with QML may perform the following steps for offering a graphical interface: Some of these topics are covered below, and may also be observed in practice in the following examples: The following logic demonstrates loading a QML file into a window: Any QML object may be manipulated by Go via the Object interface. That interface is implemented both by dynamic QML values obtained from a running engine, and by Go types in the qml package that represent QML values, such as Window, Context, and Engine. For example, the following logic creates a window and prints its width whenever it's made visible: Information about the methods, properties, and signals that are available for QML objects may be obtained in the Qt documentation. As a reference, the "visibleChanged" signal and the "width" property used in the example above are described at: When in doubt about what type is being manipulated, the Object.TypeName method provides the type name of the underlying value. The simplest way of making a Go value available to QML code is setting it as a variable of the engine's root context, as in: This logic would enable the following QML code to successfully run: While registering an individual Go value as described above is a quick way to get started, it is also fairly limited. For more flexibility, a Go type may be registered so that QML code can natively create new instances in an arbitrary position of the structure. This may be achieved via the RegisterType function, as the following example demonstrates: With this logic in place, QML code can create new instances of Person by itself: Independently from the mechanism used to publish a Go value to QML code, its methods and fields are available to QML logic as methods and properties of the respective QML object representing it. As required by QML, though, the Go method and field names are lowercased according to the following scheme when being accesed from QML: While QML code can directly read and write exported fields of Go values, as described above, a Go type can also intercept writes to specific fields by declaring a setter method according to common Go conventions. This is often useful for updating the internal state or the visible content of a Go-defined type. For example: In the example above, whenever QML code attempts to update the Person.Name field via any means (direct assignment, object declarations, etc) the SetName method is invoked with the provided value instead. A setter method may also be used in conjunction with a getter method rather than a real type field. A method is only considered a getter in the presence of the respective setter, and according to common Go conventions it must not have the Get prefix. Inside QML logic, the getter and setter pair is seen as a single object property. Custom types implemented in Go may have displayable content by defining a Paint method such as: A simple example is available at: Resource files (qml code, images, etc) may be packed into the Go qml application binary to simplify its handling and distribution. This is done with the genqrc tool: The following blog post provides more details:
Package graphics provides functions to draw 2D graphics based on OpenGL 3.0.
Package go3d is a performance oriented vector and matrix math package for 2D and 3D graphics. Every type has its own sub-package and is named T. So vec3.T is the 3D vector type. For every vector and matrix type there is a String() method and a Parse() function. Besides methods of T there are also functions in the packages, like vec3.Dot(a, b). Packages under the float64 directory are using float64 values instead of float32. Matrices are organized as arrays of columns which is also the way OpenGL expects matrices. DirectX expects "arrays of rows" matrices, use the Transpose() to convert. Methods that don't return a specific value, return a pointer to the struct to allow method call chaining. Example: Method names in the past tense return a copy of the struct instead of a pointer to it. Example: Documentation: http://godoc.org/github.com/ungerik/go3d
Package merkletree is an implementation of a Merkle tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree). It provides methods to create a tree and generate and verify proofs. The hashing algorithm for the tree is selectable between BLAKE2b and Keccak256, or you can supply your own. Creating a Merkle tree requires a list of values that are each byte arrays. Once a tree has been created proofs can be generated using the tree's GenerateProof() function. The package includes a function to verify a generated proof given only the data to prove, proof and the root hash of the relevant Merkle tree. This allows for efficient verification of proofs without requiring the entire Merkle tree to be stored or recreated. The tree pads its values to the next highest power of 2; values not supplied are treated as 0. This can be seen graphically by generating a DOT representation of the graph with DOT().
Package imgui contains all the functions to create an immediate mode graphical user interface based on Dear ImGui. For integration, please refer to the dedicated repository https://github.com/inkyblackness/imgui-go-examples , which contains ported examples of the C++ version, available to Go. The exported functions and constants are named closely to that of the wrapped library. If a function has optional parameters, it will be available in two versions: A verbose one, which has all optional parameters listed, and a terse one, with only the mandatory parameters in its signature. The verbose variant will have the suffix V in its name. For example, there are and The terse variant will list the default parameters it uses to call the verbose variant. There are several types which are based on uintptr. These are references to the wrapped instances in C++. You will always get to such a reference via some function - you never "instantiate" such an instance on your own.
Package openvg is a wrapper to a C library of high-level 2D graphics operations built on OpenVG 1.1 The typical "hello world" program looks like this: The Init function provides the necessary graphics subsystem initialization and the dimensions of the whole canvas. The Init() call must be paired with a corresponding Finish() call, which performs an orderly shutdown. Typically a "drawing" begins with the Start() call, and ends with End(). A program can have an arbitrary set of Start()/End() pairs. The coordinate system uses float64 coordinates, with the origin at the lower left, with x increasing to the right, and y increasing upwards. Currently, the library provides no mouse or keyboard events, other than those provided by the base operating system. It is typical to pause for user input between drawings by reading standard input. The library's functionally includes shapes, attributes, transformations, text, images, and convenince functions. Shape functions include Polygon, Polyline, Cbezier, Qbezier, Rect, Roundrect, Line, Elipse, Circle, and Arc. Transformation functions are: Translate, Rotate, Shear, and Scale. For displaying and measuring text: Text, TextMid, TextEnd, and TextWidth. The attribute functions are StrokeColor, StrokeRGB, StrokeWidth, and FillRGB, FillColor, FillLinearGradient, and FillRadialGradient. Colors are specfied with RGB triples (0-255) with alpha values (0.0-1.0), or named colors as specified by the SVG standard. Convenience functions are used to set the Background color, start the drawing with a background color, and save the raster to a file. The input terminal may be set/restored to/from raw and cooked mode. Package openvg is a high-level 2D vector graphics library built on OpenVG

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. - UTF-8 support - Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins - Page header and footer management - Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification - Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images - Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency - Outline bookmarks - Internal and external links - TrueType, Type1 and encoding support - Page compression - Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses - Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring - Clipping - Document protection - Layers - Templates - Barcodes - Charting facility - Import PDFs as templates gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. gofpdf supports UTF-8 TrueType fonts and “right-to-left” languages. Note that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters may not be included in many general purpose fonts. For these languages, a specialized font (for example, NotoSansSC for simplified Chinese) can be used. Also, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. This repository will not be maintained, at least for some unknown duration. But it is hoped that gofpdf has a bright future in the open source world. Due to Go’s promise of compatibility, gofpdf should continue to function without modification for a longer time than would be the case with many other languages. Forks should be based on the last viable commit. Tools such as active-forks can be used to select a fork that looks promising for your needs. If a particular fork looks like it has taken the lead in attracting followers, this README will be updated to point people in that direction. The efforts of all contributors to this project have been deeply appreciated. Best wishes to all of you. If you currently use the $GOPATH scheme, install the package with the following command. To test the installation, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running go test ./... is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you’ll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory and if the third argument to ComparePDFFiles() in internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples. Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). You should use AddUTF8Font() or AddUTF8FontFromBytes() to add a TrueType UTF-8 encoded font. Use RTL() and LTR() methods switch between “right-to-left” and “left-to-right” mode. In order to use a different non-UTF-8 TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run “go build”. This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include Google Fonts and DejaVu Fonts. The draw2d package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document production mode. gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better. If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own directory directly beneath the contrib directory.

Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont(). In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the package example, demonstrate this method.

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images. • Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins • Page header and footer management • Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification • Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images • Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency • Outline bookmarks • Internal and external links • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support • Page compression • Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses • Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring • Clipping • Document protection • Layers • Templates • Barcodes gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is explained in issue 109. However, support is provided to automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that have fewer than 256 glyphs. To install the package on your system, run Later, to receive updates, run The following Go code generates a simple PDF file. See the functions in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples. If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error(). This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ. However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP. A side effect of running "go test ./..." is the production of a number of example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete. Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example exampleFilename() and summary(). Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference directory. The routine that summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call ComparePDFFiles() to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF. If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison is considered to succeed.

To do this, the methods SetCatalogSort() and SetCreationDate() need to be called for both files. This is done automatically for all examples.

Package iup implements Go bindings for IUP (https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/). IUP is a multi-platform toolkit for building graphical user interfaces. Currently available interface elements can be categorized as follows: IUP has 3 concepts that any user has to understand: Elements, Attributes and Callbacks. Elements are every kind of interface element present in the application. IUP contains several user interface elements. The library's main characteristic is the use of native elements. This means that the drawing and management of a button or text box is done by the native interface system, not by IUP. This makes the application's appearance more similar to other applications in that system. On the other hand, the application's appearance can vary from one system to another. Besides, some additional controls are drawn by IUP, and are independent from the native system. Dialogs are special elements that represent every window created by IUP. Any application that uses IUP will be composed by one or more dialogs. Every dialog can contains one or more controls inside. IUP controls are never positioned in a specific (x,y) coordinate inside the dialog. The positioning is always calculated dynamically from the abstract layout hierarchy. So get used to the Fill, Hbox and Vbox controls that allows you to position the controls in the dialog. Attributes are used to change or consult properties of elements. Each element has a set of attributes that affects its behavior or its appearance. Each attribute may work differently for each elements, but usually attributes with the same name work the same. Attribute names are always upper case. But attribute values like "YES", "NO", "TOP", are case insensitive, so "Yes", "no", "top", and other variations will work. IUP has only a few functions because it uses string attributes to access the properties of each control. So get used to SetAttribute and GetAttribute, because you are going to use them a lot. Attribute names are always upper case, lower case names will not work. But attribute values like "YES", "NO", "TOP", are case insensitive, so "Yes", "no", "top", and other variations will work. If not defined their value can be inherited from the parent container. Boolean attributes accept the values "1", "YES" or "ON" for true, and "0", "NO" or "OFF" for false. But they will return the value described in the documentation. You can also use SetInt with 1 for true and 0 for false. GetInt will return 1 for any of the true values, and 0 for any of the false values. Callbacks are functions which notify the application that some user interface event occurred. Usually callbacks will be called only when the user interacts with the application elements. If the application register the callback function, then the function will be called every time the event occurs. IUP has several global tables along with some system tools that must be initialized before any dialog is created. The default system language used by predefined dialogs and messages is English. But it can be changed to Portuguese or Spanish. Before running any of IUP’s functions, function Open must be run to initialize the toolkit. After running the last IUP function, function Close must be run so that the toolkit can free internal memory and close the interface system. Executing these functions in this order is crucial for the correct functioning of the toolkit. Between calls to the Open and Close functions, the application can create dialogs and display them.

Package graphics2d contains types and functions for 2D graphics rendering. If all you want to do is render a point, line, arc or path of a particular color into an image, then use the draw functions which hide all of the mechanics described below from you: However, to take full advantage of the package, here's a few more things you'll need to know. The lowest type is a Path. Paths start from a location and add steps using a number of control points. The number of control points determines the polynomial order of the step: 0 - line; 1 - quadratic; 2 - cubic; 3 - quartic; ... A path can be closed which forces a line from the start location to the last. Once a path is closed, no more steps can be added. Unlike other implementations, a path here represents a single stroke (pen down). There is no move (pen up) step. The Shape type is a container for paths and represents something that can be filled and rendered. When paths are rendered, they must be fillable (i.e. closed), so they are forced closed by the renderer. This can lead to unexpected results... If a shape is rendered with a pen (see DrawShape) and the pen has a stroke associated with it, then open paths are not an issue since strokes return closed paths. A pen is a combination of a color (or image), a stroke and a transformation from shape space to image space. If you're defining operations in the same space as the image, then the transformation is simply the identity transformation. If, however, say your operations are in a space [0, 1]^2, then you'd specify a transformation that maps [0, 1] => [0, width-1] etc. (i.e. scale by image width and height). Note that this transformation is applied *after* the stroke, so for a 1 pixel wide stroke the stroke width would be 1 / width. You don't have to use pens, you can use the RenderShape, PathProcessor, image filler and transformation functions directly. Pens just provide a convenient abstraction that hides path processing. Note that if the image is written to every graphics operation (as it is with the Draw*() functions), this can kill performance as the image defined by the shape's bounds is written every time. It's better to collect all the operations associated with a color in a shape and then render that shape once. The PathProcessor interface is where the magic happens. Given a path, a function implementing this interface returns a collection of paths derived from it. This allows for stroking, dashing and a variety of other possibilities: Shapes are rendered with the render functions. Paths are forced closed when rendered (see shapes above). Convenience methods are provided for rendering with a single color or an image (see also pens, above). The full render function allows a clip mask to be supplied, and the draw.Op to be specified. The Aff3 type provides the ability to specify affine transforms on Paths and Shapes. Utility functions are provided to generate common forms of paths: A shape function is provided to capture glyphs:
Package draw2d is a pure go 2D vector graphics library with support for multiple output devices such as images (draw2d), pdf documents (draw2dpdf) and opengl (draw2dgl), which can also be used on the google app engine. It can be used as a pure go Cairo alternative. draw2d is released under the BSD license. Operations in draw2d include stroking and filling polygons, arcs, Bézier curves, drawing images and text rendering with truetype fonts. All drawing operations can be transformed by affine transformations (scale, rotation, translation). Package draw2d follows the conventions of http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext for coordinate system, angles, etc... To install or update the package draw2d on your system, run: Package draw2d itself provides a graphic context that can draw vector graphics and text on an image canvas. The following Go code generates a simple drawing and saves it to an image file: There are more examples here: https://gopkg.in/llgcode/draw2d.v1/tree/master/samples Drawing on pdf documents is provided by the draw2dpdf package. Drawing on opengl is provided by the draw2dgl package. See subdirectories at the bottom of this page. The samples are run as tests from the root package folder `draw2d` by: Or if you want to run with test coverage: This will generate output by the different backends in the output folder. Laurent Le Goff wrote this library, inspired by Postscript and HTML5 canvas. He implemented the image and opengl backend with the freetype-go package. Also he created a pure go Postscript interpreter, which can read postscript images and draw to a draw2d graphic context (https://github.com/llgcode/ps). Stani Michiels implemented the pdf backend with the gofpdf package. - https://github.com/llgcode/ps: Postscript interpreter written in Go - https://github.com/gonum/plot: drawing plots in Go - https://github.com/muesli/smartcrop: content aware image cropping - https://github.com/peterhellberg/karta: drawing Voronoi diagrams - https://github.com/vdobler/chart: basic charts in Go
